Yeah the everything is politics take is nonsense. Certainly anything can be made to be about politics, but it doesn’t have to be (and shouldn’t be).
Also, anyone who can say with a straight face that their preferred political party is aligned with the truth, while the opposition is aligned with lies loses credibility. People lie about anything whenever it suits them, and in politics and the news that is rather often.
It just so happens that they like what the one side is saying and not what the others are saying. So the one side must be good and telling the truth, and the other is bad and full of liars.
